Need help with this really old street bike...(got it road worthy..pics)
can anyone tell me what it might be? I remember riding it as a kid and having the fastest bike in the neighborhood 
Since then the parts have all rusted and I dont know where to start to make it road worthy again.
the seat sucks (any good seat recomendations?) the shifter thingies are all rusty, theres a ziptie thats older than I am on it, the brake handles are loose and I dont see how you would get them off or tighten them? The pedals are not 180Deg. I dont like the foam grips..what kind of tape would i replace them with? The frame look straight I geuss...
I have a new rim and tire and chain. I would like a ne front rim and tire and some new brakes, lines, and brake handle things, and seat, and....hell alot of stuff. lol
thanks for the help!

+1 on the Classic and Vintage forum. Those guys are good at these things. You will probably have to supply a little more information on the frame though. I doubt that they can figure it out based on the pictures alone.
